There are too many things that went wrong on my last visit to La Serre and I was contemplating if I should put up my honest review or not but I decided to go for it. We were a group of 10 people that visited La Serre for Friday night dinner, we had prior reservations but still were asked to wait almost 20 mins as the table was not ready. The table that we were placed at was very tight for 10 people and people at the corner were definitely struggling. After being seated at the table, our server took 10 mins to finally come to us and take the order. I want to mention that most of my review points deducted are being of the hospitality and service. The server was extremely rude to me when I answered to her question if someone had allergies with saying that some of us are vegetarians. I was speaking for the entire table and wanted to make sure dietary restrictions are honored. The server mocked me saying that being vegetarian is not an allergy. Despite of this snarky behavior, she was in general very chaotic and her behavior was just a bit weird in general. For food, we ordered a bunch of things - crispy fritters, house bread served with pesto butter, gnocchi, rigatoni, french onion fondue, mashed and the radiator pasta. The pesto gnocchi was very weird, it felt like the pesto wasn't mixed well with the overall dish and felt very earthy in taste. Radiator pasta was we the only dish on the menu that I really liked. For deserts we ordered the banana cream pie and chocolate tart and both were average. We ordered a lot of cocktails and drinks as well, everyone absolutely loved the truffle old fashioned, it was a meh for me as I am not a huge fan! Overall, I would have considered to revisit as the cocktails and ambiance were good but based on poor service and hospitality, this place is not a consideration for me going forward! read more

I had great hopes - and my expectations were just short of being met. Most disappointing - the service. Denise started off SO strong. Happy to see us. Attentive. Engaged. But then she disappeared as the restaurant got busier. Is that a product of Denise needing to manage her time and tables better or a product of the restaurant giving servers too many tables? I don't know - either way, we were left feeling neglected by the end of our dinner. I had asked for ketchup. She forgot. I asked another server. When she realized, she brought a fresh batch of French fries... with ketchup. But it was the end of our meal. No apology for forgetting. Just played it off as "you need fresh hot fries with that ketchup I just brought you." - felt disconnected and disingenuous. Also, she relied on us to manage the coursing of our meal. Which is frankly unacceptable. If someone is ordering a lot of food, manage the courses for them so all the food doesn't show up at once. Finally, when we asked for our check, she said ok but then forgot about us again. 10+ minutes go by. She finally brings it - and then again, she disappeared. I had to get up from the table and walk my credit card over to her. Unacceptable, especially when someone is spending $500+. The food: - Tuna Crudo: yummy - the sauce it's in was amazing! - Fritters: Highly recommend. And again the sauce, delish! - Crab croquettes: so delicious - my favorite thing we ate. - French Onion Fondue: you CANNOT call this fondue. People have an expectation of fondue. This is not a pot of melty soft cheese to dip bread into with caramelized onions on top. It's a small low walled dish skillet with gummy melted cheese and caramelized onions. Not great but more so annoyed that you call it fondue. - The steak - we ordered our filet medium rare - it definitely came out medium to medium well. If it were not for the tenderness and flavor, we would have sent it back. But it did taste good. - ok... to coveted caviar nest... this is HIGHLY OVERRATED! Just give me the caviar. It's like putting salt on salt with not enough brightness to break through. Also, would be a classier touch to have house made noodles vs dried/boxed pasta. For $95 for the "opulent" option... just mediocre pasta and cream sauce with caviar on top. Ambiance was cute! Modern and comfortable. read more

We recently visited La Serre for dinner as a party of 10. The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance inside, though larger parties are seated on the outer side. It was very busy that evening, and we had to wait a while for our order to be taken and for the food to arrive. The cocktails were excellent. For food, I tried the mini lobster roll, crab croquette, whipped potato, grilled asparagus, and crab spaghetti - all delicious. I really enjoyed the meal. Crab croquettes were my favourite. Since our group included several vegetarians, they had a harder time ordering due to the limited options. Overall, I'd go again for the ambience and drinks.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Ugh I'm so torn. The food was better than I expected (the truffle gnocchi was to die for, and I'm not a gnocchi girl) and the general manager of the night went above and beyond to make my mom feel special and taken care of for her 60th birthday. ....but the atmosphere was not it. I booked this restaurant thinking that it was going to be an intimate, quiet experience with soft music being played in the background. It was so loud we could barely hear one another and they were playing club music (??) it made it really difficult to have any sort of meaningful conversation. So yeah this is why I'm torn. Seriously if it wasn't for the music and such this would've been rated much higher :') read more

The service here is on point, but overly rushed (Maybe because they are always busy). But felt a little please eat fast and leave because we have a long list of people waiting. The food was okay, tad over price (expected) however quality needed to match on the pricing. It was an interesting experience, however wouldn't come back again, there are other places that are on point on the same fulton market than this place. Good job, but it requires some more improvements :( read more

We decided to grab Friday night dinner at La Serre. We had a prior reservation and were a big party. They however, did not seat us even when majority of the party was present. It was so awkward to stand by the entrance with such a big group cz we were literally blocking the entrance. Once we were seated, we realized the table was too tight. The table was big enough for only 8 people but they somehow squeezed 10 people in. It was very uncomfortable for the people at the edge of the table (one of them being me). The ambience was a 10/10, it was chic, floral, upscale, exactly how I like it. The food was a 7/10. Some dishes stood out, whereas the others were meh. The menu is limited on vegetarian options but they do substitutions. Some callouts as a vegetarian: the house bread was great, the crispy fritters were my personal favorite of the night, the gnocchi was soft and pillowy, the rigatoni wasn't great and it strangely had elbow macaroni instead of rigatoni, French onion fondue was a bit too salty for me, the radiator pasta was decent according to me but my friends loved it, the chocolate tart was tasty but had more cream than chocolate and the banana cream pie was delicious. The service was very chaotic and I would give it a 3/10. The food and drinks took a very long time to come by. We were super hungry because we already had to wait a lot just to get the table and the food taking even longer made us hangry. The server was very strange and by strange I mean, her behavior and the way she was talking was a bit off putting. She very rude to a friend of mine at the table who happens to be a Yelp elite. The cocktails were great, the truffle old fashioned was the best old fashioned I have ever tasted, the la serre spritz was great too. The prices are on the higher end so gotta be mindful of that. read more

We had a reservation for a Friday night and were seated right away. It was extremely busy and the noise level was absolutely obscene - the music was blaring like we were clubbing and not trying to enjoy a convo over our meal... another yelper wrote "more duck face than duck", which made me laugh because that's definitely the vibe. The decor was stunning though. For drinks, La Serre's cocktail menu had a lot of interesting choices but I went with the Bordeaux sour and was not disappointed. The menu also had so many enticing food options, my friends and I decided to go tapas style and ordered: 1. Mussels (10/10) - flavorful & delicious 2. Escargot (6/10) - we all agreed a miss 3. French Onion Fondue (10/10) - cheese, caramelized onions, and bread, what's not to love?! 4. Scallops (8/10) - perfectly cooked scallops, wonderful flavor but nothing else really on the plate for $40 5. Chocolate tart for dessert (10/10) - would do again Service was pretty good, a little bit of a slow start but it got better. Also, our waitress knew we were splitting all of our dishes between 3 people and didn't ask if we wanted to add another scallop to make 6. Sometimes it's the little things. I did like the convenience of paying the bill either through your server or by QR code. Definitely expect West Loop prices but they do have a happy hour Sun-Friday 5-6:30 pm. read more

From delicious bites to beautiful decor and a friendly staff, La Serre is a classy yet welcoming addition to West Loop! Aside from a delicious looking regular menu, they boast a happy hour that should definitely make it onto your short list of hot spots. At 5pm on a weeknight, it was pleasantly chatty and already filling up, making for a great spot to catch up with friends after work. My friend and I started with the French 75 to drink, which was refreshing and not too sweet. We also split the tuna tartare and truffle brie tart, which were both delicious. The fish was super fresh and paired really well with the crispy lavash. It had more of a ceviche vibe, so if you're into that you'll like this dish. The tart was super flaky, buttery, and airy- I loved the addition of honey that created the perfect sweet and savory flavor. Would absolutely order again. It's safe to say I will be back soon and highly encourage others to pay a visit! read more

My experience here was wonderful! Attentive, quick service. Staff was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to answer our questions. HIGHLY recommend getting a reservation for dinner as this place is always packed. I originally tried to come with just me and a girlfriend for their girl dinner (martini, fries, Cesar) but everyone else had that idea too and we left. When we came back for dinner on a double date, we had cocktails, oysters, pasta, duck special, and fries. Everything was tasted fantastic and came with beautiful presentation. I will be back for sure! read more

LaSerre is a fabulous Mediterranean restaurant in the West Loop of Chicago. Everything from the cocktails to the food to the service was amazing. Oscar was our host and took very good care of us, and the other staff members were on top of it all. I never had an empty water glass or dirty plate in front of me. We started with cocktails, an old-fashioned for him and a dirty martini for me. The bread service was a small baguette with salted butter and an olive tapenade. The knife was longer than the little loaf, though, but it was served warm. We shared the wagyu tartare to start. It was cubed tender beef with capers, dijonnaise, egg yolk and cornichons served with housemade potato chips. Pretty darn close to perfection. My hubby had the crispy duck breast in a soy garlic sauce served with crepes, lettuce leaves and pickled vegetables. He stuffed both the crepes and lettuce leaves with the sliced duck and veggies to make little handheld bites. So good. I had the truffle gnocchi with parmesan and black truffle. Amazing! It comes with oyster mushrooms but i asked for those to be nixed. The gnocchi were light and fluffy. My only complaint was there were only eight on the plate. A very small but delicious portion. We ended our meal by sharing the banana cream pie. Caramelized bananas, in a thick vanilla wafer crust sprinkled with banana chips - omgee! The manager Edgar came to check on us and was engaging and even tapped my phone with his business card to transfer his number so I would have it on hand. Nice! LaSerre is part of the DineAmic group with other good restaurants like Bar Sienna and Prime & Provisions. I agree with others that LaSerre has its music too loud and it was hard to hear across the table. However, it was a very delicious culinary night and I will return. This would be five stars if it wasn't for the loud music. It would be more romantic and special if you could hear your date. Also the small baguette and gnocchi portion size added to the 4 stars. A girl needs her carbs! read more

We had such a great experience at the restaurant last night! The food was absolutely delicious--everything we ordered was full of flavor and clearly made with care. The atmosphere was just as impressive, with a warm and inviting vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening. The highlight of our visit, though, was our server, Denise. She was truly outstanding--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. She made sure we had everything we needed without ever being overbearing, and her positive energy really elevated the whole experience. It's rare to come across service that memorable, and Denise went above and beyond to make our night special. We'll definitely be coming back, and we hope to be lucky enough to have Denise again. read more

Came here on Saturday and they are pretty busy but so nice. Called over the phone for a bar saved for 7 of my girls and they went above and beyond. We tried their restaurant week deal and it was amazing! We all loved it and they also tailored it toward people who would have allergies. The ambiance inside was so nice and there was even a DJ. Waved at him and he waved back. The food was good for the price, loved their truffle fries and the courses I got was the tuna credo which was so flavorful and citrus flavored. Than got their mini lobster rolls which was amazing. Each came with a drink and we got the queen gambit and it was so refreshing. The last course was the chocolate tart dessert with an expresso martini and it was such a great combination and end to our meal. I want to say our bartender who took our orders and made sure everything was good was amazing!! She went above and beyond and we ask if she could do the sparkler for my friends birthday and it was amazing. read more

We've now been to La Serre multiple times since my first review, most recently this Friday night. I'll admit it was surprisingly easy to grab a last-minute reservation. That concerned me a little because this is still a very good restaurant and it deserves to be busy. Which it was. Must've been a lot of people like us that grab reservations last minute. The experience, was excellent. Service was top notch. Professional, polished, attentive. Exactly what you expect. We opted for wine by the glass instead of committing to a bottle, and the selection was strong. We both found something we genuinely enjoyed. We started with the "potato skins," which are nothing like TGI Friday's. These are elevated, delicate little bites topped with caviar. Small, refined, almost amuse-bouche style. My wife had the tuna tartare and the Dover sole. The tartare was fresh and clean, but the Dover sole is the absolute star of the show. It's exceptional every single time we order it. Perfectly cooked, buttery, balanced. It is the dish that keeps us coming back. I had the shrimp cocktail, which was solid but straightforward. No surprises, just a classic cocktail. My lamb chops were the star of my night. Cooked perfectly with a nice little kick of heat in the sauce, not overpowering and not timid. Just enough. Then a nice surprise at the end. Apparently my reservation app let them know it was my birthday week. We were not there to celebrate anything, just a Friday night out, but they brought us a complimentary dessert. Totally unnecessary but a classy touch. It was their French toast dessert which was delicious. I usually opt for a chocolate selection. But I was very happy with this. Overall, La Serre has been solid every single time we've gone. Consistency matters and they deliver it. read more

La Serre: The Art of Expensive Chaos Who would've thought that in a city with world-class dining, Michelin stars, and actual culinary talent, I'd find one of the most aggressively mid dining experiences of my life -- for $100 a head -- at La Serre. Let's start with the ambiance. Fake plastic ferns dangling from the rafters like a HomeGoods hostage situation. Dust everywhere. The vibe felt less "Parisian chic" and more "abandoned mall jungle exhibit." We were seated next to the service station, which was fun for theatre. Our waiter was nice, but operating like he was being chased by a timer and three invisible managers. We ordered à la carte during Restaurant Week (because apparently we like to live dangerously), and the pacing of the meal was less "fine dining" and more food tsunami. Drinks. Appetizers. Oysters. Two French onion soups. A Wagyu burger. A kids' meal. ALL AT ONCE No pacing. No structure. No flow. No concept of courses. Just one massive culinary traffic jam crashing onto the table like a kitchen-themed car accident. We literally had to stack plates like Jenga to make room. Soup spilled on the table -- never cleaned up -- just left there as a sticky reminder of what poor service looks like. When my partner tried to order a second drink, the waiter cut them off mid-sentence with a casual "yeah, yeah, yeah" and walked away. Nothing says luxury dining like being verbally swatted like a fly. Oh -- and the aroma experience. We were seated near the service line where they repeatedly burned some tar-smelling substance (possibly for whiskey theatrics?), filling the air with a nostalgic blend of old cigar box, burnt tire, and haunted dive bar. Truly immersive. Truly unforgettable. Not in a good way. Food review: * French onion soup: actually good. * Fries: fine. * Flat iron steak: a tragedy. Pre-cut, dried out, stone cold, and emotionally dead. I stopped eating it out of mercy. * Angel hair with crab: placed in front of me, then awkwardly dropped in the center of the table like a confused offering to the dining gods. I marked the reservation as my partner's birthday. Acknowledgment received: zero. Not even a nod. Not even a crumb of acknowledgment energy. Mains came five minutes after appetizers. Everyone still had food. Everyone was overwhelmed. The whole meal felt rushed, chaotic, and careless -- like the kitchen and floor staff were in two completely different realities. For $100 per person, this wasn't just disappointing -- it was insulting. No pacing. No structure. No hospitality. No justification for the price point. If you're going out for a real experience -- food, service, atmosphere, and actual professionalism -- skip La Serre entirely and go to Adalina Prime instead. Because good restaurants feel intentional. This one felt accidental. read more

Cute place and great food and service. If anything, a little overpriced. The start bread was delicious and the butter was so creamy (though I didn't love the other spread which was maybe anchovy?). For starters both the zucchini fritters and French onion fondue were absolutely incredible and probably the best two dishes of the entire meal. The beef tartare was kind of boring and small. The little gem salad was very leafy, but also creamy and decent for a small salad of mostly leaves. We tried two pastas. The gnocchi a la truffle was INCREDIBLE. Real truffle and so creamy and flavorful. The bacon fusilli was also reallly good. If anything it may have been too bacony as even the sauce had a bacon flavor. The lamb chops and NY strip were both decent. Nothing crazy good but good enough. The scallops didn't really do anything for me. For sides the frites were pretty classic fries, but the cauliflower was super tasty - the basil pesto dressing was super good. For dessert the brûlée toast was excellent though definitely had a breakfasty quality. I didn't really love the texture of the chocolate profiterole, but it tasted fine. read more

The main reason for the five stars is the amazing service we received from Denice, our server for the night! She completely turned the evening around for us after we were seated 40 minutes past our reservation. She was incredibly friendly and suggested some great menu options.

Great dining experience here at La Serre. I ordered the delicious chicken- super tender and juicy, plus the sauce was succulent and rich. I would say the chicken would be the star dish if it wasn't for the outstanding linguine and clams. Unlike any other pasta dish with clams, this dish was bright and creamy, yet maintained good clams. Shout out to rose for great hospitality! Also ambience is very cool, like an enchanted forest. Best chicken read more

Golden 30th birthday dinner at Le Serre An unforgettable evening with my girls celebrating a milestone in true golden fashion. We started the night with a round of cocktails which, I of course, began with their signature Golden Fashioned, followed by a few others that were as beautiful as they were delicious. To start, we shared an oyster tower with all the classic accompaniments -- cocktail sauce, cucumber mignonette, lemon, and fresh bread with butter and tapenade. Every bite felt like a celebration. For dinner, we ordered a stunning variety of dishes -- from the perfectly seared scallops with peas and mint, to the rich crispy-skinned salmon in a golden saffron sauce, to the truffle-infused fusilli alla vodka topped with crispy pancetta, and the grilled steak served with roasted garlic and peppercorn sauce. Each plate was not only beautifully presented but packed with incredible flavor which was elegant and fresh! The evening ended on the sweetest note, WITH A GOLD BIRTHDAY CAKE, my friend @sebas.inc created for me, and the restaurant paired it with a refreshing house sorbet and sparklers to celebrate. It was the most thoughtful, sparkling finale to an already perfect night. Between the stunning ambiance, attentive service, and golden glow of the entire evening -- it was everything I could have dreamed of and more A night I'll never forget read more

I had my bachelorette party here last weekend and have not stopped thinking about how amazing the food, drinks, service, and everything was. We worked with Erin and she went above and beyond to make sure the evening was perfectly executed. Everyone raved about the venue and how good the food and service was. The restaurant also ensured all dietary restrictions were accommodated and were so friendly and welcoming. Was it expensive? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely! We booked a private room that accommodates up to 24 people and it was nice to have space to ourselves. The space was perfect. For food we had the mini lobster rolls, little gem salad, hand cut filet au poivre, gnocchi à la truffe, whipped potatoes, charred brussel sprouts, bruleed French toast, and raspberry sorbet. A vegan gluten free pasta with a marinara sauce was also served. The servers were great about taking drink orders, giving helpful suggestions when requested, and ensuring our water glasses never went empty. I was so busy stuffing my face with all the wonderful food I forgot to take many pictures. Wish I had photos to post! They also had a fun celebration at the end with sparklers. I cannot recommend La Serre enough. What a wonderful evening! If you're looking to book a private event for a large group and looking for delicious food and impeccable service, definitely go here! Thank you again to their staff for everything. I will be back! read more

We chose this place to celebrate a special birthday! I've been there before so I knew the food is delicious and couldn't wait for my friends to try it. We sat down when our server Brendon came up to the table asking for our drink order (we barely sat down). He was back within 5 mins to see if we're ready to order!! The entire dinner we felt extremely rushed and could hardly enjoy ourselves! Even though the food and ambiance was great; Brandon really ruined the experience for us. I've also included on my reservation that we're celebrating a birthday and even though everyone around us was getting sparklers with their birthday desserts; we did not get one. I reminded Brendan that we are celebrating a birthday and he proceeded to bring us two scoops of sorbet with a sparkler and charge us for that dessert! The entire thing was extremely disappointing having just come back from New York and the south of France where going out to dinner was a completely different experience with very thoughtful service. I think Brendon is confusing La Serre for a fast food restaurant.. read more

Visited La Serre for a Girls Night out and had a lovely experience. Plenty of cute IG photo ops between the mirrors, floral wallpaper and greenery. This place really nails a girl's aesthetic. I ordered the Bordeaux Sour to start. Had a great sour punch to it but wasn't overwhelming. Tiktok and fellow Yelp reviewers raved over the French Onion Fondue so we had to order that. We were not disappointed, I think this appetizer really lives up to the hype. The onions were so creamy it melts in your mouth like butter. We also ordered the prime beef tartare, coal roasted Brussel sprouts and the Duck Chinoise. All very delicious. The duck was a good spin on Chinese style Peking duck, and perfect for sharing. There were three of us and we had leftovers! The sauce and pickled radish paired well and really made the dish cohesive. The Brussels were smoky but had a lovely citrus sauce with it. Everything, down to the candle in the bathroom, was excellent! read more

I started with the smoke & spice cocktail, which has creyente mezcal, eucalyptus, lemon, and black pepper. It was really great, especially for me since I don't like overly sweet drinks. For my dinner, I ordered the 7 oz hand cut filet, and added frites, with bearnaise sauce. Our food came out quickly! Lastly, they brought out a cute dessert and sparkler for my birthday. What a sweet touch. I had a great experience at La Serre and will visit again. read more
